SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS. Metal Gear Solid 5 is an actual, factual thing, as revealed during Kojima Productions' GDC panel. But wait, that's not all. Are you ready to ratchet up the vein-searing voltage? OK, here goes: The Phantom Pain was just a promotional stunt! It was Metal Gearall along, just like no man, woman, child, infant, or single-celled organism could've surmised from painfully obvious evidence. Now, though, you probably ought to flee into your local neighborhood tire factory, because here comes the most electric news of all. In spite of Hideo Kojima's repeated claims that Metal Gear Solid 5/Ground Zeroes/The Phantom Pain's demos have been running on PC, Konami still won't confirm or deny a PC version for some reason.
